# Dynamic Applications Data Sources

The New Application window shows up to four picklist fields, depending on your selections in the design attributes panel. Options in all picklists except Student are based on filtering the Program Term Application Timeline (PTAT) record.

![Note](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-sfdo-education_cloud-264-0-0-production-enus/89403874-2a89-4126-b574-9db175c14f28/images/icon_note.png)

Note Only the Application Types, Academic Terms, or Learning Programs that are associated with a PTAT can appear as picklist options on the New Application window.

To send picklist options to the fields on the New Application window, a PTAT must have:

- A related Academic Term record with the Active field set to true
- A related Learning Program record with the Active field set to true
- A related Application Timeline where:
    
    - The Application Open Date field has a value that's less than the current date
    - The Application Close Date field is blank or has a value that's greater than the current date

Qualified PTATs are filtered based on the user's selections on the New Application window.
